Hare Splitter

Hare Splitter is not one of Freleng's or Bugs' best. The story isn't dull I give you and it does have that Freleng touch that but there is little that makes it stand out, you do feel as though you've seen it before and better. Casbah has his moments like with the mousetrap, but he is one of Bugs' stupidest foils and does feel bland compared to Bugs rather than matching him. The animation however is good, the colours are luscious and it looks fluid. The music has a lot of energy and lively orchestration, once again being a large part of the humour and the cartoon working. The dialogue has its wit, Bugs' "What an ignoramus!" is classic Bugs and did amuse me a great deal. The gags are not the most inspired but they are fun, the exploding carrots was the best part for me. Mel Blanc's vocals have the enthusiasm as one would expect. In conclusion, definitely worth watching but don't expect anything particularly innovative. 7/10 Bethany Cox
